SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 269,802, dated December 26, 1882.

Application filed November 4, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ADOLF LOEB, a citizen of Germany, residing atNew York, in the county and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Satchels, of \vhichthe following is a specification.

This invention consists in a satchel composed of a lining of atextile or other flexible material and a covering of a braided fabric produced from metallic strips, said lining and covering being united by the satchel-frame and by a suitable binding material.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a face view of asatchel constructed according to my invention. Fig. 2 is a transverse section of the same in the plane 00 m, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a transverse section in the plane 3/ M Similar letters bdicate corresponding parts.

In the drawings, the letterA designates the frame of a satchel. B is the handle. 0 is the covering, and D the lining. The lining of my satchel is made of a textile fabric or of leather or any other suitable material usually employed for this purpose. The covering 0 is made of a braided metallic fabric, which is produced by braiding metallicstrips or bands together, as shown in Fig. 1. These metallic strips may be made of thin sheet metal, or they may be produced of metal wire, braided together to form bands of the desired width. The lining and the metallic covering are placed one on the top of the other. The edges are protected and united by a suitable binding material, E, (Fig. 3,) which also embraces and clamps the end edges of the metallic covrring and its interior flexible lining, and may term the top ends of the satchel, while the combined ends of the covering and lining are fastened in the frame Ain the manner usually practiced by man ufacturers of such articles.

By means of the metallic covering 0 agood appearance is imparted to the satchel, and, furthermore, the strength and durability of the satchel are materially increased,the sheetmetal covering forming a protection against blows or shocks, which would be liable to produce lasting injuries to satchels provided with an ordinary covering of a textile material or of leather. Furthermore, my metallic covering may be produced at a comparatively low price, so that a strong and durable satchel can be furnished at a low cost.

By means of the binding strips E and satchel-frame A the interior flexible lining and metallic covering are secured and retained in their proper relative position, the lining serv form of lattice-work, the ends at the line of 6 junction of the lid with the lower part of the trunk being confined by means of rivets to longitudinal strips of angle-iron, the metallic frame so constructed being covered by leather, as usual. Such, therefore, I do not wish to be understood as broadly claiming.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- The combination of the exterior covering, C, of interlaced metal strips, the interior lining, D, of flexible material, the binding-strips E, embracing andclamping the end edges of the covering, and the satchel-frame A, to which the top edges of the covering and lining are secured, said end binding forming the ends of So the satchel, and all being otherwise constructed and arranged substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal in the presence ot'two subscribing witnesses.
